- Criminal Defense

Felonies are the highest level of crimes in Georgia and are defined as those crimes punishable with more than one year in prison. Misdemeanors are lesser crimes, which carry a sentence of up to one year in a county jail. If you have been arrested or are under investigation for a felony offense in Georgia, you need a skilled criminal defense attorney to protect your rights and freedom. Attorney Jim Michael has the experience and skill necessary to defend all felony and misdemeanor charges.

- Juvenile Law

At James D. Michael, P.C., we understand that you want to protect your child's future. When your child makes bad decisions, acts impulsively, gets caught up with the wrong group of friends, or is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you need a lawyer who can help you limit the damage to your child's future. We know that juveniles caught up in the criminal justice system are at a pivotal point in their lives. We can help turn your child around to become a law abiding adult.

- DUI and Traffic Offenses

In all of our traffic cases, we seek to negotiate with the prosecutor prior to trial to obtain a minimum sentence in exchange for a guilty plea to a lesser offense. We often find that prosecutors offer more favorable plea agreements to defendants represented by counsel.

Our DUI defense strategy includes—Challenging the traffic stop; Challenging the field sobriety methods used; Challenging the procedures used to acquire your breath, blood, or urine test; Challenging the results of your breath, blood, or urine test; Challenging the arrest procedures; Moving to suppress your statements and admissions.
